SDE: PARCC Prototypes to Be Released
OK State Dept of Ed sent this bulletin at 08/17/2012 02:11 PM CDT
PARCC to Release Prototypes
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College
and Careers (PARCC) is preparing to release its first set of
26 items and task prototypes for both English language
arts/literacy and mathematics to inform and support
educators as they transition to Oklahoma C3 Standards,
which include Common Core State Standards and PARCC
assessments. As a member of PARCC, Oklahoma is
committed to working collaboratively with other states in the
consortium to develop a common set of K-12 assessments
in English language arts/literacy and mathematics.
The public release of the items will occur on August 20. The
items and task prototypes will be available on PARCC's
website, http://www.parcconline.org.
This is an important and exciting development. We know that
educators are eager to see these sample items and tasks.
The dynamic, online prototypes are designed to shine a light
on important elements of the Oklahoma C3 Standards and to
show how critical content in the standards may be
manifested on PARCC’s next-generation, technology-based
assessments. The PARCC sample item and task prototypes
should be viewed as one of the many types of materials
educators can use during the transition to the Oklahoma C3
standards and PARCC. Students and parents may also find
Robotics tile
Robotics Grants
Available
Robotics program grant
applications are now available to
all Oklahoma public schools. The
State Department of Education
(SDE), in partnership with FIRST
Robotics, has approved a
$100,000 budget item to support
public school student participation
in the FIRST Robotics Program.
The SDE will provide grants up to
$5,000 per school to facilitate
recent start-up and existing team
opportunities.
